“This category had no weak entries and showed the remarkable community service that newspapers provide to their local communities day in and day out across the country. What set the winning entries apart was that they went well beyond their own pages and really reached out and engaged the community in the project and that community participation and input made the difference and perhaps had the added benefit of engaging community members who might now be regular readers. All the entries showed a great use of all the tools of the papers with strong editorial, great photos and for many of them events.”

The Canadian Community Newspaper Awards honour outstanding work in editorial, photography, multimedia and overall excellence in community newspaper publishing across the country. Congratulations to the 2024 CCNAwards winners for Outstanding Community Service. “This category had no weak entries and...

“More than half the entries in this category could have contended for the top three spots, which is a reassuring sign local media are continuing to do their best to fulfill the important role they hold in their communities. That quality makes it harder for a spot news item to crack the top half — it needs to go beyond simply capturing what happened.”

Ask yourself: Is the PERSPECTIVE biased? Think critically and look for varying viewpoints on an issue.

Look for outlets that report from various perspectives to ensure the credibility of a piece. Is the article distorted or not telling the full story? Does it seem designed to get people talking—could it be clickbait?

Always question if a source is hoping to inspire a desired outcome. And remember, just because you don’t agree with a particular viewpoint does not make it biased.
